“I Can Tell It’S Fake”: What Generation Alpha Is Telling Us About Ai And 5 Tips For Educators, Charlotte Jones-Roberts Aug 2026

“I Can Tell It’S Fake”: What Generation Alpha Is Telling Us About Ai And 5 Tips For Educators, Charlotte Jones-Roberts

FDLA Journal

Institutional responses to generative artificial intelligence (AI) in higher education have largely emphasized detection, surveillance, and academic integrity enforcement. These approaches often assume that students lack the ability to recognize AI-generated content or are predisposed to misuse it. However, emerging classroom observations and generational research suggest that members of Generation Alpha (Gen Alpha) demonstrate intuitive forms of AI literacy grounded in authenticity detection, ethical awareness, and skepticism toward low-effort outputs. Drawing on student discourse, research on authentic assessment, digital citizenship, and self-regulated learning, this conceptual analysis reframes AI pedagogy from a detection problem to a design challenge. Five recurring student …

From Courseroom To Competency: Are Ai-Reliant Graduates Truly Prepared?, Rebecca J. Armstrong, David Hart Jr Aug 2026

From Courseroom To Competency: Are Ai-Reliant Graduates Truly Prepared?, Rebecca J. Armstrong, David Hart Jr

FDLA Journal

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a form of technology that has become a significant component in all our lives, especially those of students and instructors. AI serves as an automated, robotic entity that simulates human learning; it is able to rely on basic input to generate outlines and ideas for papers meant to satisfy any academic requirement and is seen as a helpful addition to the modern classroom. However, instead of relying on AI to enhance critical analysis and ethical reasoning, this artificial language model is frequently used to complete entire academic projects with little input on the part of the …

The Role Of Trauma-Informed Care In Supporting At-Risk Students In Alternative Education, Jar'mel D. Taylor Dr. Aug 2026

The Role Of Trauma-Informed Care In Supporting At-Risk Students In Alternative Education, Jar'mel D. Taylor Dr.

Transformations

Students with traumatic experiences commonly fail to meet educational goals and control their emotions while also losing their involvement in classes. Standard trauma-informed care practices remain absent from numerous alternative educational institutions, which leaves their teaching community without adequate support to help traumatized students effectively. The application of Trauma-Informed Care (TIC) strategies toward student outcomes requires investigation to develop effective educational approaches that enhance school success. The researcher used qualitative exploratory case study methodology to study TIC practices in alternative education for Black and Brown adolescent students (aged 12–18) in Washington, D.C. Semi-structured interviews and a focus group with 16 …


Sociology Of Mind Trap In Nepal, Makar Bahadur Sarki Aug 2026

Sociology Of Mind Trap In Nepal, Makar Bahadur Sarki

Transformations

Nepali society is multilingual, culturally and ethnically diverse. It holds great potential for development and thought. However, the existing mental traps in society are creating obstacles to fulfilling those potentials. Mental entrapment is a problem in which people follow someone's words with complete faith, just like someone who runs after a crow without touching their own ears after hearing that it has ears. This forces people to live in illusion. This leads to individuals mistrusting their own abilities and pushing society towards inaction. This situation is not only due to individual thinking, but is the combined result of social structural …
